NO - If the HDS indicates FAILED, check for poor connections or loose terminals between the transmission range switch and the PCM, then go to step 1. If the HDS indicates NOT COMPLETED, go to step 12.


15. Reconnect all connectors.

16. Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software, ECM/PCM Update or substitute a known-good PCM. Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes

17. Test-drive the vehicle with the shift lever in R at speeds below 3 mph (5 km/h) for at least 2 seconds. Then increase the speed and drive at speeds over 3 mph (5 km/h) for at least 2 seconds.

18. Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.

Is DTC P1717 indicated?
YES - Check for poor connections or loose terminals between the transmission range switch and the PCM. If the PCM was updated, substitute a known-good PCM, Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes then go to step 17. If the PCM was substituted, go to step 1.

NO - Go to step 19.


19. Monitor the OBD STATUS for P1717 in the DTCs MENU with the HDS.

Does the HDS indicate PASSED?
YES - If the PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the PCM was substituted, replace the original PCM. Service and Repair If any other Pending or Confirmed DTCs were indicated in step 18, go to the indicated DTC's troubleshooting.

NO - If the HDS indicates FAILED, check for poor connections or loose terminals between the transmission range switch and the PCM. If the PCM was updated, substitute a known-good PCM, Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes then go to step 17. If the PCM was substituted, go to step 1. If the HDS indicates NOT COMPLETED, go to step 17.
